More Taxes
The new ID cards, which are to be compulsory, will cost 30 quid, unless you combine them with a 93 quid passport.
How much more cash does this government really think it can keep taking from people's pockets before people kick back (granted, we need a valid opposition party before we can do it!)
I agreed, in principle, with the idea behind carrying some form of ID, but this is taking the piss - if the underlying reason is security, then the cost should be borne from other sources, not by ripping it out of out pockets again. And it won't actually stop anything - it will be just as easy to obtain one of these as it is to obtain a passport.
Oh yes, if you don't register with a card you will not get health care, etc. If you plan on being a pensioner, you are better off not paying the poll tax or whatever this bunch of thieving bastards are now calling it, and going to prison!
